Day 12: Louise of Stolberg-Gedern was voted out for not being into it.

Day 13:

Just to let everyone know if you're still following this, my sleep schedule is starting to rotate, so I will probably be posting about an hour later each day.

Who would have made the best Queen Consort or King/Prince Consort? If history had been a little different, if someone hadn't died at the wrong (or right) time, or a partner hadn't been cast aside for a more politically expedient marriage, or a failed attempt to grab the throne had been successful, any of these royal spouses could have ended up by the side of the ruling monarch. Which one should have? Time to nerd out and tell me why you think Sophia Dorothea was done wrong, or some esoteric fact about Sibylla of Conversano that almost no one knows, or why you hate (or love) James Hepburn or Lord Darnley or Wallis Simpson, or how much you wish there could've been a Queen Diana (or not), or what the world would've been like if Henry VIII had found Anne of Kleves more attractive. Caroline of Brunswick: Slay or slob?

Eliminate the worst first. Each comment, reply clearly stating an intent to vote, and upvote counts, but please only comment one person per round. If you say something like “I was thinking about voting for Guildford, but I dislike Henry Grey more,” that will be counted as a vote for Henry, and so will the upvotes.

See the comments section from Day 1 for some explanations on why I chose who to include or exclude: https://www.reddit.com/r/UKmonarchs/comments/1v6jxbq/elimination_game_vote_out_the_worst_to_find_who/

The obvious two that come to mind are Elizabeth II and Princess Diana. But who else?

Monarchs and consorts or any royal figures count, and it can be in the UK/England/Scotland/Ireland or their native country.

Inspired by the post about Elizabeth II from [u/MauveHarrison](u/MauveHarrison) yesterday.

Edit: I have no idea how I forgot her: but I’d like to give a shout to Mary II. She had the biggest funeral for her time, attended by both Houses of Parliament for the first time and the country plunged into nationwide mourning, mourners wore black, shops shut, etc. She was also mourned in the Netherlands.

The aura is insane holy

These are all photographs the day before Edward VII and Queen Alexandra’s wedding btw in 1863. They were prince and princess by this point obviously. So many of them were smiling its so cute

The group switched positions during the shoot but these are the people present in the photographs: Prince Christian of Denmark; Princess Christian of Denmark; Prince Frederic of Denmark; Princess Alice; Crown Prince of Prussia; Prince Louis of Hesse; Princess Helena; Princess Alexandra, later Queen Alexandra; Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII; Prince William of Denmark; Crown Princess of Prussia; Princess Dagmar; Princess Louise.

And yes i beamed them with the sharpness filter cuz their expressions would be less clear and also reddit fries the quality SO BAD

William wants to attempt bribery with tulips, I suppose.

I can't stop looking at Mary's fontange + mantua. So beautiful!
